This code is mashed php and html with inline styling with both deprecated code and markup tags.
You are wide open to SQL injection.

There is so much wrong with it, it's difficult to know where to begin - and I do apologise if that sounds a bit harsh.

Try to separate out PHP and HTML as far as possible.
Do not use deprecated HTML tags like <font>
Place styling into CSS files or at least into <style> tags in the head section
Do not use the deprecated mysql_* functions, use mysqli or PDO instead
If using PDO - use a prepared statement for binding your input parameters or if using mysqli, you have the choice of using a prepared statement or sanitizing the input before placing into the SQL string.

I believe I mentioned some of these issues here: https://www.daniweb.com/programming/web-development/threads/502595/php-enrollment-system-loading-up-subjects#post2196989

Thank you sir. And I'm sorry for trying to insist this old school mysql code. But what am I want to achieve is to know the solution to this. I will not going to deploy this anyway.

Why are you insisting on using code that is about 15 years old? It doesn.t make any sense. If it.s not being deployed then I.m assuming it.s for your own use as a learning project. You will learn nothing from this other than bad habits. Ok. Your choice but just so you know, many contributors will not think about posting to code that looks like this.
